An early recruiting class to make Ron Prince blush....

Don't see the problem.  Gill and staff are obviously superior talent evaluators and have got in on these kids before the big boys.  If you watch the videos you can clearly see they are mostly "diamonds in the rough".  All you can hope is that they stay loyal when the "big boys" come calling.  Also, stars are meaningless.  They just give stars to recruits of "big time" schools.  I'd rather have a 3-star kid who has something to prove than a 5-star kid who thinks he's entitled.  You've got to consider the "right fit" as well.  Big time schools probably cooled on these guys when they committed to KU.  Securing the border.

Oh man, it's like looking in a mirror

New Mexico State
Utah
Utah St
Arizona
Louisville
Southern Miss
Wyoming (2 different kids)
Colorado State
Florida State
Hawaii
Nevada
Georgia Southern
Louisiana Lafayette

You have a great history owning Tulsa.  In fact, Tulsa and SW Missouri State were KU's only two wins during their 2-10 season in 2002.  Actually, Tulsa was their lone win over a 1-A team.  I remember listening to that game on the radio at the time hoping KU would lose sooooo bad.

In think the only question left is what kind of track stars were these guys.  I'm assuming elite.  This means that they're guaranteed to be good players.

Ben now just lurks and then goes back and whines about what is posted here in Tardville.

Really calling out WtW on this one.

A player with 2 stars and 5 heart is way more important than the other way around

I'm waiting for the inevitable ban for when Tom finds out I've turned EMAW.

Gill will turn them into 5 gospel players if they aren't already

Share with those of us who don't have an account.  I am a fan of Ben's meltdowns.

KU's recruiting class is solid, especially the recent o-line commitments.  If KU can get Darrian Miller back in the fold, this class has a chance to be really good.

Can't tell if you are being serious or joking?  That first 4 star commit is the toughest.

[OregonSmock]

KU's recruiting class is better than K-State's at this point.  It won't even be close once Maurice Couch commits.

If you are going by rankings, KU's is still behind K-State.  Hang in there though, not every one can recruit with the Del Miller's of the world.

"I'm down to South Carolina and Tennessee. I'm going to wait until I go visit Tennessee to make my decision."

When asked if he had indeed informed the media that he had committed to Tennessee, Couch said that it was true, but that he was no considering himself committed to the Vols yet.

"Yeah, but I'm not ready yet."

K-State's class is benefitting from the Jeremy Crabtree 4-star juco bump.  Just be honest with yourself for once.

So you are going with a conspiracy theory on why your all-star recruiting staff is losing in the recruiting rankings to the WRSOAT?  Also, the Brown brothers aren't factored into these rankings.  But by all means, KU's class is way better, "and it's not even close".

BMW, your top recruit was a 264lbs offensive lineman from Kansas. Now i will give you darrian miller. Other than that, you have an absolutely garbage class.

unfortunately we can add the brown bro's ×'s

still trying to figure out Bem's insidery info on this.  Kinda weird that no one thinks he is committing to UKlite.
